How can i create n-linearly independent vectors?

Like 4-linearly independent vectors if n=4 as follows
a1=[1,17] , a2=[1,7] , a3=[1,1] , a4=[1,9]

The simplest thing to do I suppose is just to pick off the columns of the identity matrix of the appropriate size. Do you have any other criteria that needs to be met?
I should add that your example will not work ... you can't have four linearly independent 2-element vectors, since two linearly independent 2-element vectors will span the entire space.

Generate any n x n nonsingular matrix, e.g.,
A = eye(n)
and take some subset of the columns.

You can also use matlab's 'orth' function to generate linearly independent vectors which span a given space. They will in fact be orthogonal. See:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/orth.html
(Note: You cannot get four linearly independent vectors from your set of two-element vectors. The maximum would be two. For example, in the vectors you give, there is the equality:
3*a1-8*a2+5*a3 = 0
